The Heart of all Heresy is Rebellion

Heresy is often defined as simply 'error' and classified more or less as 'theological heresy' and 'moral heresy'. However, heresy is more than that. It is rebellion. That is the heart of all heresy. All rebellion leads to illegitimate authority and a lust for power. For heretics not only seek to justify themselves, but also want to have the power to do so. They seek to use the Law of God which has a spiritual power, and manipulate and twist it, to justify their evil. Show me a heresiarch, and I will show you a person full of rebellion, and all kinds of lust, not least, the lust of power.   Rebellion is not simply about going against God, though that is certainly what it is. It is driven by lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life, combined together with the desire to justify one's theology.  This attempt to justify one's own theology is precisely the problem - one seeks to define the truth, and not only that, manipulate God when o...

The Evils of Fallen Marriages and Families

Many conservatives love to talk about marriage and family, assuming all manner of righteousness because they supposedly "value marriage and family" while those "evil liberals" do not. While it is true that western liberals despise these institutions of marriage and family, this does not automatically mean that conservatives "value marriage and family". These 'conservatives' who claim to "value marriage and family" do not truly value marriage and family, for those love such institutions for the wrong reasons. Instead, they idolise them, elevating them above God. While marriage and family must be respected, idolising them is evil. For idolatry is always evil (Exodus 20:3-5; Matthew 22:37; Luke 10:27).  'Marriage and family' heretics claim that marriage and family are mandatory for Salvation. They love to talk about how a person must first, be saved, second, get married as soon as possible (to prevent fornication, as if marri...

Our Ultimate Family is the Holy Universal Church, not our Earthly Family

Many churches nowadays are constantly pushing people to get married and have families, largely as a response to the degeneracy of the decadent immorality of the culture around them, which despises marriage and family and perverts these institutions. However, this "marriage and family" agenda is based on many fundamental misconceptualisations of Scripture.  One key misconceptualisation is the view that people must marry to not be lonely, because of Genesis 2:18 which says: " And the  Lord  God said, “ It is  not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” These religious people in the professing Church are constantly quoting this to people who object to their view that all people must rush into marriage or else they are "cursed" for being unmarried. Such are absurd lies! What Genesis 2:18 really means is that God created woman to complement man so that humanity will be both male and female. God did not create humanity to ...

The Essence of a Real Woman

There is much talk about Biblical womanhood in the Church, which indeed an important topic. However, owing to the confusion about the subject by many people because of misinterpretation and misapplication of Scripture, this subject has become controversial and difficult to understand.  Many attribute the controversial nature of the subject of Biblical womanhood in the eyes of today's Church to the influence of feminism in the Church. While it is true that much of the controversy is owing to many women being poisoned by feminism, there are also legitimate genuine concerns about certain purported teachings in the Church on Biblical womanhood. Such teachings that involve a perversion of Scripture that is being used to oppress women, which is a concern that warrants discussion. The use of Scripture of oppress people, not just women, is a very real concern.  All discussion on Biblical womanhood must address the fundamental question: what is a real woman? A real woman is one who...

The Fundamentals of the Christian Faith: A Call to Christian Militancy

The Christian faith is militant, bold, and unapologetic. Scripture has a wealth of evidence that shows that this is so. Jesus said: “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.   For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;   and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household' (Matthew 10:34-36). He also said: " “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me" (Matthew 16:24).  These commands by Jesus shows that He expects nothing less than total and absolute sacrifice for Him, as followers of Jesus, nothing but a total surrender of one's life for Him, following His Commands. For Jesus said " If you love Me, keep My commandments" (John 14:15). This does not mean to keep His Commands in a legalistic way, by simply keeping rules as religious people make it out to be,...
